According to the report, the opposition party offered the billionaire oil
magnate the ticket of the party, and he wholeheartedly accepted.
Otedola will, therefore, in the long run, square up against whoever the
All Progressives Congress (APC) throws up as its party candidate as it is
still embroiled in the battle of supremacy between the loyalists of
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the incumbent governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Over 50 council chairmen loyal to Bola Tinubu, his estranged godfather,
have met and pledged their support for Jide Sanwonolu, who is believed
to be Tinubu’s preferred choice, according to APC insiders. The council
chairmen are the most influential grassroots mobilisers under the direct
primary system adopted by APC to pick governorship candidates. Most
members of the Lagos house of assembly are also loyal to Tinubu. On
Monday, the governor, alongside some members of his cabinet, stormed
the headquarters of the APC in Abuja to get expression of interest and
nomination forms for his 2019 bid.
